Product key for help
I received a computer refurbished gateway with Windows 7 Home Premium. The key on the sticker is missing. I can read the 1st, 3rd and 4th set of letters, the second and last are what has disappeared and I can't read. Any help would be appreciated. I have never used the front key for office, etc. and I would do it now with the key. I write the key down to keep it safe, if anyone can help me get the key please. Thank you in advance.
Tommy, the product key is necessary for specific Windows registry/use, etc., which also comes with the computer. Once enrolled, the 'trial' is done and can be used. I am beyond my trial period and want to use it again.
Except the product key on the sticker is not for that. The trial that you must be bought and if you haven't paid for it - product key so that it would be somewhere else - not stuck on the computer.
In other words-, you will need to contact those that you bought the computer from and check that you bought Office and where is this product key.

I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me
Hello
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

I have no product key for my windows vista... I need help... pleaze!
If Windows Vista is already installed on your system and your system still works (even if only in safe mode) so you can be lucky. There is a product called Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html which can be installed on your system and can retrieve the product key in the system files (only Vista does not provide this feature).
If you can not enter your system, it has already been formatted or something like that, there is very little that can be done. There is no place that keeps a record of the product keys related to individuals (or computers) that can be checked and Microsoft will not give without proof of purchase product keys (which IS the key product - the sales receipt or even the disc itself is not enough). You can't even borrow a disk from someone else because you need your product key to activate the program. The only choice is to buy another product (you'll probably need a commercial full version as an upgrade will not work on a non-production system or one where you cannot install a product allowing to level).
You can TRY to get Microsoft to activate your system without a product key if you have the disk (there are codes on the disc, which mean it is valid or not), but I doubt it will work but may be worth a try. To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter. Enter your country and press Next. You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below. Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being. Have your handy product code because it will be asked. Explain that you have lost your product key, but the disc and it's the same PC. They can give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or they have very probably you will say you are out of luck and they can not help you).
I hope this helps.
Good luck! Lorien - MCSA/MCSE/network + / A +.

How can I find the product key for microsoft office which is preloaded on my HP TouchSmart PC?
Trying to replace Office 2003 with Office 2010, which came preloaded on my HP TouchSmart PC, but he keeps invites me for a product key...
When you request support, please provide the number of name and/or product of comprehensive model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models which are all different. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.
As a general rule, the Microsoft Office product comes with most HP computers is a trial version or reduced functionality. Unless you paid extra for a version full of Office, it is unlikely that you have or that you will find a valid product key for Office.
Please send Bravo

How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?
Product key for reinstallation question
I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer. I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time. The sticker on my computer displays a product key. When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key. Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc? Thanks for any help.PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.
If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)
Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:
(A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates.
(B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the compartment of the battery from your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, when the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.
